sometimes it's the very people who no one imagines anything of who do the things no one can imagine.

The Imitation Game

What's that you're reading?

- it's about cryptography.

- Like secret messages?

Not secret. That's the brilliant part.

Messages that anyone can see

but no one knows what they mean

unless you have the key.

How's that different from talking?

- Talking?

- When people talk to each other,

they never say what they mean,

they say something else.

And you're expected

to just know what they mean.

Only I never do.

So...

How's that different?

Alan, I have a funny feeling

you're going to be very good at this.

The Solitude of Prime Numbers (novel)

The novel narrates the childhood and early adulthood of a boy and girl who were each exposed to traumatic situations that followed them into adulthood. Both are outsiders, similar to how prime numbers are outsiders in relation to the other numbers. They befriend each other, forming a special relationship – becoming very close but never romantic. Their relationship appears to have run its course, but circumstances bring them together again and while they clearly love each other, they are unable to express their emotions. This relationship is compared to prime pairs: always together but never touching.

Too Loud a Solitude

 Hanta is portrayed as a sort of recluse and hermit, albeit one with encyclopedic literary knowledge. Hanta uses metaphorical language and surreal descriptions, and much of the book is concerned with just his inner thoughts, as he recalls and meditates on the outlandish amounts of knowledge he has attained over the years. He brings up stories from his past and imagines the events of whimsical scenarios. He contemplates the messages of the vast numbers of intellectuals which he has studied. 

 Everything I Never Told You

Nath falls into the lake, where he realizes that he will never be able to understand Lydia's death and achieves a modicum of closure.
